South Orange Maplewood ARTISTS STUDIO TOUR 2021
The South Orange Maplewood Artists Studio Tour, presented by ArtSOMA: The Artist Community of South Orange & Maplewood, NJ, will be held the first full weekend in November, 11/6 and 7, from 11:00 am - 5:00 pm, like it has for the past 18 years.
Despite the obstacles, the artists and community have come together to continue this SOMA institution. First COVID. Last year, the artists figured out how to workaround COVID and are continuing to institute the flexible practices developed then. Then the Baird center closed for construction. Historically both the seat of operations and planning for the tour, The Baird also housed many artists who could not display in their homes. And finally, sources of funds and support that had been predictable in the past, weren’t as available.
So the artists took action.
